Tvheadend

Hello,

I have got TVHeadend 4.1-2309~g0736ebc running on a Ubuntu 16.10 server with Emby. TvHeadend works great however there are a few issues with XMLTV schedules direct.

I have configured tv_grab_sd_json with two lineups and TVH grabs the schedules properly including icons etc. 4.1 performs this a lot better than 4.0 btw

However only about half of the programs have season/episode information. I have configured NextPVR on another VM which works great with about 90% season/episode information from Schedules Direct except that stutters a bit while playing to Kodi.

Here is an example.

I configured tv_grab_sd_json on another account and sent the out to a file so I could read it as I can't find where TVH stores the output from this when it runs it.

The below episode of Midsomer Murders does not have episode/season information in TVH Gui however it has it correctly in the XML as I understand you need to +1 to the numbers in the file.

<programme start="20161108200000 +0000" stop="20161108220000 +0000" channel="I24293.json.schedulesdirect.org">

The below images shows NextPVR has correctly got the information.

TVH corrects displays the information from another episode and the XML is shown below:

Does anyone know what could be the problem? Should I instead use something like mc2xml?

The reason I want XML EPG is because Emby will correctly identify the recording and not just shove it in Movies so it fills up my Kodi Movies DB.

Thanks for any help
